Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance.

• Cleaning the Dustbin: Empty the dustbin after each use. The dustbin can often be washed with water. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching. [!] Warning: Do not wash the main unit.
• Cleaning the Filter:
  1. Remove the filter from the dustbin assembly.
  2. Gently brush off dust. For washable filters, rinse them under cold running water. [!] Warning: Do not use hot water above 50°C to wash the filter.
  3. Allow the filter to air dry completely (at least 24 hours) before reinserting it. [!] Warning: Never use the vacuum cleaner without a filter.
• Cleaning the Floor Head and Brush: Remove any tangled hair or debris from the floor head brush. Some floor heads allow the brush to be removed for easier cleaning.
